Ft. Stockton

We left Albuquerque with lots of hugs and having had much fun playing cards and just visiting. Foxy had lots of back problems and tried almost everything she knows to get some relief. Consequently we did not get to see friends but did visit with several family members and spend a good birthday with son Scott who is now 46.

The kids and grands left for work or school, and we followed shortly after hooking up the car to the motor home. We stopped briefly in Moriarity for gas and then headed west to Cline's Corners before turning south. The wind blew all day, but most of the time it was at our back, which helped. We drove over several tumbleweeds that were trying to cross the road. Why does the tumbleweed cross the road? To get to the other side, of course. The last one I ran over was so big that it decided to drag along, and I had to stop and get it out from under the coach. We made such good time that we decided to not stop for the night in Carlsbad as we had planned. So now we have stopped for the night at Ft. Stockton, which is in Texas, and only face a short 250 mile drive tomorrow. Then back to Kerrville for a few weeks. Happy travels.
